View From the Bushes

For some reason I've been getting off to a slow start the last couple of days, and it's been sometime in the afternoon before I get a chance to post my blog. Normally I post it during lunch. If I miss that window there's no telling when it will be posted or of what quality it will be. Obviously your first question is, "how is it possible for the quality to get any worse?" I often wonder that myself, but clearly there are still depths of "talentless-hack-dom" left to be explored. I guess it's that feeling that I can always do worse which keeps me writing.

I fly to GenCon two weeks from tomorrow, and I'm pretty excited for the show. For one thing (at least so far), it doesn't appear that I'm going to have any last minute deadline I'm furiously preparing for up to the moment the plane leaves, and what I already have scheduled for the con is shaping up to be incredibly fun and possibly even moderately productive. It's been at least three years since I went to a Con primarily to enjoy myself, so this will be a welcome relief. Sleep is secondary this year.

I'm planning to bike again this evening, but rather than last Tuesday when I tried to go up the canyon I think I'm going to try and mostly keep it flat this time around. We'll see if that actually happens -- it's kind of hard to get much of a ride in here in the valley without going up some hills. There are, of course, routes that will take you into neighboring cities, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet, and certainly that's not the kind of ride you take in the evening. I couldn't find a link to include, but there were two great links yesterday, so hopefully I'm covered.
